Life electrified

While an ICE-less future might still be, at the very least, a few decades away, the transition from fossil fuel-sipping cars to ones that draw power from cleaner sources is well and truly underway. Currently, it seems EVs are the future and for some even the present with a few, but very compelling options available in the market.
